Thanks for that NeoTracker link! Although later on I realized that I won't be able to run it on my stock 800XL without a memory upgrade, I'd still like having this.

I agree about the DOSes... I don't get it either. I've spent a good 20 hours fighting with them, when I can just flip the power switch on my C64 and boom, start loading software! I guess that's part of the fun of discovering a new platform :D

You use the XL as an instrument you say? How so? I use my C64's for both, writing complete songs and as a MIDI synth. Any way I can utilize this 800XL could be cool. Maybe some MIDI interface that controls POKEY... that could be cool. I think I saw one of those out there somewhere, for the chip alone.

Yupp, complete songs too. But in general - You play the music on it, it makes the machine an instrument. Figure of speech.
Although I did have a project where 8bit machines was treated like instruments http://ubiktune.com/releases/ubi051-yer ... der-my-bed but without XL/XE in it.
